113. The Undead of Gilheim?
113. The Undead of Gilheim?
The unrest caused by the pirates has not yet spread. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One of the reasons why the night makes them less mobile, and the second is because ......
Port District ...... It's so rich.
As mentioned earlier, the port area is an area where only certain nobles can stay and gather the essence of the entire city, so that there is enough wealth in that place for these pirates who have been red for a long time to plunder.
Of course, plundering itself was not a good thing, but because it delayed the spread of pirates into the city, it gave the citizens of the city a chance to take refuge.
The pirates smashed open the shop, killed the night watchman inside, swept away the riches, and finally set a fire to the city at night, laughing and dancing as the flames of sin expanded, as if they were about to engulf the city completely.
But no one has been able to stop this atrocity, the mercenaries outside the city have not been traced so far, and the guards in the city were originally a group of remnants, which were simply useless, from the appearance of the pirates, beating, smashing, looting, burning, until now, this group of cowardly fellows has not appeared at all, and it seems that they have completely abandoned their duties.
In this way, Pol becomes hell.
House of Luna.
"Long, take everyone away. Go in the opposite direction, quick!!"
"Oh......" Long's face turned pale, and he nodded subconsciously, and the sound of swords and soldiers in the port area in the distance couldn't help but remind him of the terrible war not long ago.
In any case, he was just a slightly older child, and at this moment, in the face of the pirate's robbery, fear came again.
"It's okay!" Miss Luna gently hugged Takashi from behind.
"It's going to be fine, trust me, Ryu!"
Under the gentle embrace of his sister, the fear in the young man's heart miraculously dissipated.
The body stopped trembling, and the eyes gradually became determined.
"I ...... I see, Sister Luna. ”
"Well, you are a strong child, I am relieved to leave it to you. ”
"Wait, Sister Luna, you said I'll leave it to me, won't you come with us?!" Ryu suddenly reacted and asked in a loud voice.
Luna peered through the window at the harbor in the distance.
There was a complicated look in her eyes.
"I still have things to accomplish...... So far, what only I can do, no, is the most important thing I have to do!!"
She clenched her fists tightly.
At that moment, looking at his sister in front of him, Long's heart suddenly felt empty.
He had a strange feeling that the distance between the two seemed to be constantly lengthening and separating...... My sister in front of me is about to go to a place that I can't reach even if I stretch out my hand.
However, the words of opposition cannot be spoken in any way,
My sister's orders are absolute.
As a dependent child, what reason and qualifications do you have to oppose your sister's words?
Long couldn't find a foothold.
I hated my powerlessness like never before, but ...... I couldn't do anything but watch my most important family members leave like this......
After parting with the children, Luna ran as fast as she could, towards somewhere in the city.
It was a place where nobles lived.
The place was surprisingly quiet, and it didn't seem to have been in turmoil because of the events in the port area, but there were more guards of all kinds, protecting this precious street with great vigour.
Under the watchful eye and obstruction of the nobles' private soldiers, some civilians who wanted to be protected were ruthlessly blocked from the outside, and Miss Luna was not surprised to receive the same treatment.
"Get out of the way, let me in!!"
"Chick, this is not the place for people like you, get out of here!!"
"Wait, take a closer look, you're pretty good-looking, how about it, if you're willing to be my woman, I'll protect you." ”
"Presumptuous!!"
At this moment, Miss Luna looked majestic.
"I'm Luna Gilheim, the daughter of the Duke of Guilheim!
"Ji ...... Gilheim?"
The poor captain of the guard squad was stunned.
Although Gillheim has disappeared, the name still has a lot of influence in the city, after all, the family has been in control of the city for a long time, and their influence will not disappear in a few months.
The young lady in front of you...... How to say it, if you want to say noble, it seems to be true, although the clothes you are wearing are not expensive, but the unique temperament of the nobility exuded by the body cannot deceive people.
This squad leader has seen the noble lady's lofty temperament on weekdays, although the young lady in front of him is slightly different from those delicate young ladies, but it is completely different from the civilian girl, which can't help but make him subconsciously believe this eldest lady's statement.
Maybe she's telling the truth?
The squad leader couldn't make up his mind.
"Untouchable?" said with a wry smile, and Miss Luna, who had been allowed to leave, was led by the guards to the destination of the trip, in front of the Char family's mansion.
The place was solemn, but it didn't seem too panicked, but the number of guards was several times that of the streets, showing the deep heritage of this family.
This is the strength of the Char family after Gilheim, the first giant of Bol!!
The butler of the Char family, who had come out to receive him, was amazed when he saw Miss Luna.
"Isn't this Miss Guilheim? It's been a long time!"
"It's you? I want to see Uncle Clough. Miss Luna seemed to know the butler in front of her.
"Lord Count will be glad to see you, Miss Gilheim, please come in. ”
Guided by the butler, Miss Luna enters the mansion.
As she walked through the luxurious hallway, Miss Luna's heart was in turmoil.
She had to clench her fists again and again to strengthen her resolve.
Gilheim?
Once again, this long-abandoned name was used.
As an illegitimate daughter, this surname, which was once disdained and discarded, did not expect to be used again in this situation, and as a result, this noble surname is like a curse, and there is still no escape?
Thinking of this, Miss Luna laughed at herself slightly.
It was as if I was once again recalling [that man's] whispering words.
[The Name of Gilheim...... It is both an honor and a responsibility. 】
[That's right, I have something that I have to protect, this is ...... Guilheim's responsibility...... My responsibility!!]
But there was no time left to do psychological construction, and under the guidance of the butler, Miss Luna finally met the adult he wanted to meet.
"Isn't this little Luna? It's been a long time since you've come to see me, an old man who is dying?"
The old man said with a smile.
That's not a disguise, Clough Char has always appeared in the nobility of Boer as a good old man, he has no excellent talents, and he is not good at swordsmanship, and he is not good at learning, in the era of the old Duke Gilheim, this man was known for his obedience and harmony, so that he had a good connection, relying on this connection, in the time of Ed Gilheim, the old earl was still standing and not cleaned.
After all, even Ed must find a way to stabilize people's hearts, and this mediocre and kind aristocrat in front of him is the best tool to use.
"Uncle Clough, I came here to ask you to help me......"
Luna looked at each other and said word for word.
"In the name of Gilheim, I want you to help me protect this city!" (To be continued.) )
